More than 1,100 people drive through the gates of the expansive Stihl facility each day to report to work - the production lines run day in and day out, 24-7. Join us on a virtual tour of the factory, where high-technology machines produce materials and skilled technicians assemble the full line of Stihl power tools and accessories.

Here, a Stihl employee works on one of the manufacturer’s staple assembly lines – blowers.

A closer look at the blower assembly line. The facility is open 24 hours, but most products are produced during the day. Thirty percent are manufactured during the night shift.

Trimmers hang from an automated system that hangs from the ceiling and moves the parts through the assembly line.
